My FreeNAS is an old Dell desktop P4 tower, and I want to move it temporarily to a small AMD embedded-style build I just did. I'm doing this to get immediate benefits in power usage and noise (not to mention size). There's one problem -- my jails are currently on an old PATA drive and the new build does not support PATA drives.
The current FreeNAS system supports both interfaces (I have a SATA drive as the data disk). Note: these are both UFS drives.
What I want to do it plug in a SATA drive to the old system and clone my jail disk to it, then move it and the data disk over to the new box. Will this work if I give the new SATA Jail drive the same name the old PATA drive had and restore my saved settings from the old machine?
